Odd Multimonitor Behavior with Catalyst 3.7

[Tom Doyle]

I am using both video outputs of my 9800 on two separate monitors: a Samsung
DVI and a Sony CRT. When I upgraded to the new Catalyst 3.7, there now
appears 3 displays in the "Display Properties." It has added a third (what
it calls a "Default Monitor") with a screen resolution of -1 pixel by -1
pixel. No information is show for this "monitor" in the "Advanced Tab" and
there is actually no real monitor associated with it. The "extend desktop to
this monitor" is unchecked. WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS and how (or should) I get
rid of it?

its the video out even though it is off still loads a default monitor.....i guess so you can adjust the output res and refresh

No options are available on that "video out" - all are blank or grayed out.
This whole thing did not occur with Catalyst 3.6 or any previous to that.

done it on my machine since the 2nd cat release....plug a monitor in the video out and turn it on from display properties. Its
simply a Interface created to better control the res and refresh for TV's and the integration of hydravision also I guess.
